Congratulations on the 20.7s!
My 20.7s arrived on Sept 21st. I lugged the things in and installed them myself, these things are absolute monsters. I knew they were bigger and heavier than my 3.7s, but OMG.
Anyway, as you experienced and as expected, they were just plain dull at first. But in fairly short order they begin opening up nicely. I probably have 30ish hour so far.
My biggest concern, and what drove me almost nuts for the 4 month wait time is that I'd find something about them I did not like as much as the 3.7s, which I thought were wonderful.
Fortunately, my fears are over, as these things really do everything the 3.7s did, better. That coherence is there as you mention, it's like listening to single driver speakers.
I had myself convinced that they could not be as good as the 3.7s were in this regard!
That added bit of lower end is very nice.
I noticed they can play louder with no "congestion". Male voices are a bit fuller. (i.e. Leonard Cohen's)
Also noticed they are ever so slightly less bright than my 3.7s were. (using the same 1 ohm Duelund in tweeter and jumper on mid) I like this because I think it provides a bit more centered adjustment range with smaller value attenuator resistors. No more fears for me. :)
